< Isigiele 3 >
1 Gode da amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Goe meloa dedei moma! Amasea, Isala: ili dunuma olelela masa!”
He said to me, “You human, eat this scroll that is in front of you. Then go and speak to the Israeli people [MTY].”
2 Amalalu, na lafi dagale, E da meloa bioi na moma: ne i.
So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat it.
3 Gode amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Meloa bioi Na iabe goe moma! Dia hagomo sadima: ne moma.” Amalalu, na mai dagoi. Ea hedai da agime hano ea hedai agoai nabi.
Then he said to me, “You human, eat the scroll that I have given to you. Fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and in my mouth it tasted as sweet as honey.
4 Amalalu, Gode da amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Di asili, Isala: ili dunuma, Na dima sia: i amo huluane olelema.
Then he said to me, “You human, go to the Israeli people [MTY] and tell them my message.
5 Na da ga fi amo da sia: hisu sia: be, ilima di hame asunasisa. Be dia fidafa Isala: ili fi ilima asunasisa.
The people to whom I am sending you are not people whose language is very [to learn], a language which you do not understand. I am sending you to your Israeli people [MTY].
6 Na da di gasa bagade ga fifi asi gala ilia gasa bagade sia: dia hame nababe, ilima asunasisa ganiaba ilia naba: loba.
I am sending you to people whose language you understand very well. If I were sending you to people whose language was difficult for you to understand, they [be surprised and] pay attention to what [say to them].
7 Be Isala: ili fi dunu huluanedafa da dia sia: ilia hame nabimu. Ilia da Na sia: amolawane hame nabimu. Ilia huluane da gasa fili higasa.
But the Israeli people do not want to listen to you because they do not want to listen to me. [They do not want to listen because] they are all very stubborn [DOU].
8 Be wali Na da dia hou afadenene, di da bu ilia hou defele gasa fi amola gasa bagade hamomu.
But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.
9 Na da dia hou ga: nasi igi agoane amola igi debesu gasa bagade agoane hamomu. Amo odoga: su dunuba: le mae beda: ma.”
I will cause you to be as firm/unbreakable as [SIM] the hardest stone, like flint. So, [even though] they are very rebellious people, do not be afraid of them; do not allow them to cause you to be afraid.”
10 Gode da eno amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Noga: le nabima! Amo Na dima sia: be liligi mae gogolema!
He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].
11 Amalalu, dia fi dunu mugululi asi ilima olelela masa. Amane sia: ma, ‘Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, da dilima amane sia: sa’. Ilia da dia sia: nabimu o hame nabimu, amo mae dawa: ma.”
Go to your fellow Israelis who [here after being] (exiled/forced to leave their country), and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and then tell them my message], whether they want to hear it or whether they do not want to hear it.”
12 Amalalu, Gode Ea A: silibu da na oule heda: i. Amola na baligia guma: di sia: gasa bagade nabi, amane, “Hebene ganodini esalebe Hina Gode Ea Hadigi nodone gaguia gadoma!”
[in the vision] the [of God] lifted me up, and I heard behind [someone speaking very loudly], like a loud rumbling sound. [I heard someone say, ] “Praise our glorious Yahweh in the place where he [in heaven]!”
13 Na da esalebe liligi, ilia fo ganodini ougiaga dababe amo ea ga: nabi. Amola emo sisiga: i ahoabe ilia ga: da gasa bagade bebeda: nima agoai nabi.
[I heard] the sound of the wings of the four living creatures brushing against each other, [I also heard] the sound of the wheels that were beside them. It was a loud rumbling sound.
14 Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da gasa bagadewane, na gaguia gadole oule asi. Na amola da ougi amola higale dawa: i galu.
The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.
15 Amalalu, na da Dela: ibibe moilai (Giba Hano bega: dialu moilai amo ganodini mugululi misi dunu da esalu) amoga doaga: le, eso fesuale esalu. Bai na ba: i liligi amola nabi liligi dawa: beba: le, gasa hame galu.
I came to the exiles who lived at Tel [town] near the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Then, where they were living, I sat for seven days. I was [about everything that I had seen].
16 Amo eso fesuale baligili, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:
17 “Dunu egefe! Na da di Isala: ili fi sosodo ouligima: ne ilegesa. Sisasu sia: Na dima sia: be, ilima alofele ianoma.
“You human, I am appointing [to be like] a watchman [MET] for the Israeli people [MTY]. [So] listen to these messages that I will give you, and tell them those messages to warn them.
18 Na da wadela: i hamosu dunu ema bogosu imunusa: fofada: sea, di da ema ea hou afadenene bu esalusu lama: ne, sisamu da defea. Be di da ema hame sisane iasea, Na da di amo dunu ea medole legesu dunu agoai ba: mu.
When I say about some wicked people, ‘They will surely [because of their sins],’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to (save their lives/remain alive), those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
19 Be di da wadela: i hamosu dunuma sisane iasea, be e da wadela: i hou hame fisisia, e da wadela: i hamosu dunu defele bogosu ba: mu. Be di da sisane iabeba: le, bogosu hame ba: mu.”
But if you warn the wicked people and they do not turn from all their wicked behavior [DOU], they will die because of their sins, but you will have saved [from my punishing you].
20 Dunu noga: i da ea noga: i hou fisili, bu wadela: i hou hamosea, amola Na da ea hou dawa: ma: ne adoba: sea, di da ema hame sisane iasea, e da bogomu. E da ea wadela: i hou amogaba: le bogomu. Na da ea musa: moloi hou hamoi amoma hame dawa: mu. Be di da ema hame sisane iabeba: le, Na da di amo dunu ea medole legesu dunu agoai ba: mu.
Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen [IDM] to them. [But you must warn them. If you do not warn them], and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they [previously], but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
21 Be di da dunu noga: i amoma wadela: i hou mae hamoma: ne sisane iasea, amola e da dia sia: nabasea amola wadela: i hou hame hamosea, ali galu da bogosu hame ba: mu.”
But if you warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will surely remain alive because they [your] warning, and you will have saved [from my punishing you].”
22 Hina Gode da na dogo ganodini gasa bagade hamosu. E nama amane sia: i, “Wa: legadole, gadili asili, fagoga gudu sa: ima. Na da dima amogudu sia: mu.”
[I felt] Yahweh take control [MTY] of me, and he said to me, “Get up and go [from the city down] to the plain/valley, and there I will speak to you.”
23 Amaiba: le, na da asili fagoga gudu sa: ili, Hina Gode Ea hadigi ba: i. Na da Ea hadigi Giba Hano bega: ba: i, amo defele bu ba: i. Na da odagi guduli, osoba diasa: i.
So I got up and went down to the valley. And I saw the glory of Yahweh there, like the glory that I had seen along the Kebar River/Canal. And I prostrated myself on the ground.
24 Be Gode Ea A: silibu da nama aligila dabeba: le, na wa: legadolesi. Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Di diasua asili, logo ga: sili, esaloma.
Then the [of God] entered me and enabled me to stand up. He said to me, “Go into your house and stay inside it.
25 Dunu egefe! Eno dunu da di gadili ahoasa: besa: le, efega la: la: gilisimu.
People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable to go out among the people.
26 Di da amo odoga: su dunuma sisane sia: sa: besa: le, Na da di mae sia: baouma: ne, dia gona: su gadolesimu.
[Even though] they are very rebellious people, I will cause your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, with the result that you will be unable to talk and to rebuke them.
27 Amasea, na da dima sia: sea, di da bu sia: gelema: ne gasa iasea, di da Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, amo Na sia: i liligi ilima olelemu. Dunu oda ilia da nabimu amola dunu oda ilia da dima ba: sola: mu. Bai ilia da lelele odoga: su dunu fi.”
[then] when I speak to [again], I will enable you to talk [MTY], and you will say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and you will tell them my message]. Those who are willing to [to what you say] will listen, [many] will refuse to listen, because they are rebellious people [MTY].”
